In the Middle of the Night
The sleeping habits of Allah's Messenger saw

A friend gave me a cd titled In the Middle of The Night; the sleeping habits of Allah's Messenger by Muhammad Alshareef as a birthday present. I heard till track 10 and stopped for a while to finish my 4 year plan that I've been delaying to finish. I learned much from the the talk.

Well, the 9-5 working hours are considered the kafir life style. Back in Rasulullah saw times, the sahabah wakes up when the sun rises and start their activities from fajar till sundown. Excessive sleep in dunia, will result less sleep in akhirah.

Sleep can be categorized into two:

1. natural sleep- like in a desert, without any technologies (such as the alarm clock to wake you up), people only wake up when the sun rises and go to sleep when the sun is down. There's no light and no caffeine to make you wide awake.
2. unnatural sleep- happens when one eat too much food which makes one drowsy but then take caffeine drinks (e.g Pepsi) , so they won't be able to go to sleep. Sleeping when lights are on.

When we sleep there are three knots that are tied on us by syaitan. So, how do we take these knots of us? Well, here's some tips:

1. knot 1 : say alhamdulillah and thank Allah for resurrecting us from our sleep. Don't forget to recite the doa rite after waking up!
   
2. knot 2 : Take wuduk
3. knot 3 : pray 2 rakaat (subuh prayer)

So, when we go to class in the morning, we now know who has succesfully vanquished the three knots. Their faces should be fresh and look fully awake. =)

Here are some of Rasulullah's Sunnah regarding sleep:

• take wuduk as if you want to pray before going to sleep
• sleep on your right side
• recite the doa before going to sleep
• don't do things on your bed before going to sleep (eg reading a book) because your bed should only associated with sleeping.
  

Guess I'll stop here. Have to finish my 4 year plan. =)

Winter break's here.

Winter break's finally here. Yay~! After all those time spent studying, now it's time for relaxation and yeah PS2. Been shopping today. At Opry Mills. Thanks to abang aminah and aminah herself cause letting me tag along. What did I buy? hurm..a long jacket, a bubble jacket, a sweater, a sanrio handbag ( my first ever handbag that I bought myself, yaman gave my my first ), some birthday gifts, and the modulator for the ps2.

Talking about the modulator, well, I finally went to get my tv( given by nik, freely) at Lewis and so-called-borrowed Hisyam's PS2, he already has an xbox 360 at his home. Anyway, it's the big one. Went back to Branscomb Quad, got some help from fizah, zairin, zed nik, hubab n muhaimin. And finally got the tv and ps2 at my room. I was so excited so I plugged the tv and stuff and when I searched for the input and output slot..it wasn't there. It just wasn't there. Where was i suppose to attach it too? I was like so frustrated. But it wasn't long. I had to find another tv. Be it small like Aliaa's. Well I did go to their room. Attach the ps2. alhamdulilah it was okay and started playing. The screen was so small I had to seat really near the tv to read the subtitles. But still, I still played and played and played. I did stop finally though. I couldn't find the way to Storehouse #5 so I stopped then. What I actually wanted to say was that now the I 've bought the ps2 tv cable now i can play it tru a bigger tv. Well, atleast bigger than before. ( Thanks to jihah n aliaa for letting me borrow the small tv btw.) Yeah, I'm still playing FF12. Did download carbon, but my internet was blocked a couple of hours after started to download it. So it didn't finish. So I'm just focusing on one game only. And Vaan's met Amalia( or Ashe- her real name) hu~

Azni will be going to Atlanta for 2 days. Guess I'm all alone playing the ps2 again. Yeah, just like after spm. hu~

Squall~

I like Squall, a character in Final Fantasy VIII. He was silent and cold. No one liked him, he had two close friends, Selphie and Zell, they were on a mission, that was why they became friends. He had a rival, Seifer. Who always beats him in everything he does. Seifer always thinks that he's better than Squall. Well, Seifer is the antagonist in the game. But Squall and Seifer had been rivals since childhood. They knew each other very well. Rinoa came by at Balamb Garden. For a ball. He wanted to meet Seifer at the ball. She met Squall there too and had a dance with him. But you know, in the end, Rinoa chose Squall. Squall wasn't the same as he once was. He opened up himself to others. Thanks to Rinoa.

Well, Vann is Reks's brother..thought so. =)

Vaan (ヴァン Van) Vaan is an orphaned Hume street urchin who lost both his parents in a plague when he was twelve years old and his only brother, Reks, during the Archadian invasion of Dalmasca. He makes a living as the prosperous shopkeeper Migelo's assistant, running various errands, and as a cutpurse stealing from Archadian soldiers and citizens. He is cheerful, carefree, and energetic, and among his friends of many young orphans throughout Rabanastre, he is considered a leader. Vaan dreams of someday becoming a sky pirate in command of his own airship. [9]

Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca (アーシェ Āshe) is a determined and independent 19-year-old Hume princess fighting to liberate her kingdom, Dalmasca, from the Archadian Empire. In addition to being the leader of the Dalmascan resistance movement (under the pseudonym Amalia), she is the sole heir to the throne. Her father and eight brothers were killed during the Archadian invasion, along with her husband, Prince Rasler of Nabradia. Ashe seeks not only freedom for her country, but also vengeance against the Archadian invaders and the traitorous Dalmascan captain Basch, who assassinated the king at a treaty signing before the monarch could complete Dalmasca's conditional surrender. It was announced following the king's death that Ashe had taken her own life.

About FFXII

Final Fantasy XII takes place mostly in the kingdom of Dalmasca, a small city-state in Ivalice. A neutral party in the past wars between its neighboring kingdoms of Archadia and Rozarria, Dalmasca was ultimately conquered by Archadia and reduced to the status of an occupied state under Archadian rule. Vaan, a street urchin living in the Dalmascan capital of Rabanastre, attempts to steal from the royal palace, in an attempt to "take back" Dalmascan treasures from the Archadians. However, resistance forces lead an assault on the royal castle, and Vaan is caught between Archadian troops and Dalmascan insurgeants. This leads to a chance encounter with Ashe, the deposed princess of Dalmasca and leader of the resistance movement.

Archadian Judge Magisters, leaders of the Judges who first appeared in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, are featured prominently in the story. They are the supreme enforcers of Archadian law, and number five total: Gabranth, Ghis, Drace, Zargabaath, and Bergan.

A beginning

Dear Mr Santa Claus,

I'd like a PS3 for Christmas, an IPod so I won't have to keep charging the AAA batteries everytime my mp3 power runs out , and I'd like a very fluffy jacket for this coming winter season.

Ryuneko.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Too bad I don't believe in Santa Claus. I was never brought up with the existence of him. I knew him, his stories and all, even met him when I was playing as Sora in Kingdom Hearts II. In the world of Jack. Nightmare before Christmas. I miss playing games. Especially Rpg games. I was playing Grandia 3. Never did had the chance to game it. It was fun but then I grew kinda bored of it. Too childish I guess and the story line wasn't that great. And yeah, Shadow Hearts, never thought that I;d play that kinda game. It was an rpg. But, heh..only ppl who play will know. =). I didn't actually finished that game too. I was stuck at the final boss. What was the name again? Geez, I don;t really remember. Shin Megami Tensei : Nocturne. Was a great game. An rpg about being a demon, weird I guess. But, it was unique the story line was captivating. haha. yeah, I didn;t gamed that one too, I was stuck at the 3 sisters. They were so hard to defeat so I gave up at the end. I won;t be able to know the rest of the story line without defeating them So, I stopped playing Nocturne. Guess I should have rename this as The games that I failed to game. What about NFS: Most Wanted you may ask? Yeah, I beaten up all of them untill black list # 10. Baron, who drives the Black Porsche. Great Car..If only I got the pink slip after beating him. But, I didn't get enough bounty to race with him. Wasn;t the most wanted race car driver in my career then. I could have asked Yaman to help,,but it won;t be the same you know, I like to play my own game my own way. I don;t like ppl playing it for me, becoz it wasnt my own effort. Guess, that;s the difference between Din and I. He could just ask Yaman to : " Level up my Sora Yaman!" And Yaman would go," OK!"..He'll be so happy to level Sora up. He likes to level characters up but he won't play the game? Why? Well, he just says that..." there;s gonna be a boss. And I don;t like battling the boss." Geez, Yaman, what;s a game without bosses to defeat.

So you may wonder what games did I actually gamed? Oh yeah, for those who doesn't know. Gaming a game is when one finshes the game. Meaning that one has completely end the game and the story lines end. Well, sometimes the storyline doesn;t end. It continues. Like FFX and FFX2. Yuna wanted to search for Tidus in FFX2, but did they meet? Well, in my ending( becoz I didnt finish 100% of the game), they didn't. Too bad, Yuna! Better Luck next time. But I won't play you again. I;m just waiting to play as Vann or Ashe again now. FFx12..yeah, the english version's finally out. Din bought the japanese version back at Msia. Couldn't understand a word then. So, how am I suppose to know the story line then. Thanks to some people over here( I wont mention names) I've finally been able to play again. Thanks. Really. Do appreciate it. I was still a LEvel 1 Characterm though, yeah, and I played as Vann. Erm,,is Vann, Reks brother? I'm curious.
